You're probably right. People just love to use JS to make their sites "Web 2.0" these days but it's something we screen scrapers have to deal with. Here are my comments from a quick examination using Firebug (which is something you should have handy to investigate stuff like this). The login attempt POSTs your data to https://ebpp.airtelworld.com/pkmslogin.form which returns a secure cookie that should probably be sent in subsequent requests to handle your session. This is probably the first thing you need to do. The Python stdlib can handle this using urllib2 and cookielib. I've managed something like this here https://gist.github.com/3811b566df4005a012c7 which you can use as a starting point. After this, you have a session. Now you should be able to GET the URL you want directly and parse it for the information you need.
